I've been using Linux Mint Cinnamon for a few weeks, and it's been great! However, lately, I've been encountering a frustrating issue where, after the logo appears on boot, my screen goes completely black and doesn't recover. The only way to get past this is by forcing my PC to shut down using the physical button and then turning it back on. After that, everything seems to work just fine. What could be causing this problem? I appreciate any insights!

It sounds like Cinnamon might not be loading properly during boot. Some folks have reported similar issues, and using Timeshift to roll back to a previous state might help. Additionally, if you can access the terminal during boot, typing 'cinnamon' could sometimes kickstart the Desktop Environment into loading properly. Give that a shot!
You can get more clarity on what's happening during boot by checking the system logs. Try running the command 'sudo journalctl -b 1 | grep -i -E "fail|war|err"' in the terminal. This will show any warning, error, or failure messages from the last boot session. Just let us know what you find!
Before diving deeper, make sure you have enough free disk space on your drive. How much space is available? Sometimes a low disk space can cause boot issues. If you have a lot of space left (like 449.9GB out of 500GB that you mentioned), then we may want to investigate boot logs.
I ran the suggested command and got this long text log! I honestly don’t understand any of it. Can someone help me decipher what’s going wrong?
